What is WIC?

WIC – the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children – is a nutrition education and food supplement program for women, infants, and children with/or at risk of developing nutrition-related health problems. To receive WIC services, participants must be at or below 185% of the Federal Poverty Level. Participants must also have a medical or nutritional risk to qualify for WIC.

WIC services include monthly supplemental food benefits, health and nutrition screenings, individual nutrition counseling and group nutrition classes, and referrals to health and social services.
